#Always harm someone

[lozmastermm]

Just remember it wasn't simply Israel or Biden that put Genocide on the table, it was Dem voters defending it so Biden wouldn't look bad. So dems wouldn't look bad.

They're defending a genocide instead of demanding their elected officials listen and do their job. The thing that makes Democrats, Democrats, compared to Republicans.

You have NO interest in Israel, none.

You are not opposed to pulling our taxes from Israel.

So why the FUCK are you defending this. You gain nothing. Nothing. In fact you pushed voters away, hard as fuck, and it will splinter, it will grow, it will Only Grow so long as you idiots pull republican bullshit like defending a god damn genocide solely so Dear Leader doesn't look bad.

Fucking. Insane.

How are we ever going to collectively demand SHIT when you can't even call a genocide a fucking genocide.

Embarrassing. What confidence should I as a citizen have in Dems?

Without mentioning republicans or dump, sell me on the genocide, go for it, because you fucking can't. You're republican, voting dem, because it's socially convenient. Nothing more. You believe nothing but the fuckin Larp of politics, the popularity contest of it all, demanding better? Any amount of change.

No.

You'll fight against free healthcare, you'll fight against abortion access, you'll fight against equal marriage, you'll fight against equal opportunity-

So long as Dem politicans say so, and it looks bad to say otherwise? You will. Every. Time.

That is not a party, that is a cult in the fuckin' making, and you're aiding that situation for No Benefit, None.

Bare in mind, I'm not saying you can't vote dem, I voted for Kamala, despite all of this, I had to change, I had to self-reflect, and yet, I still say, if she doesn't do a good job, my vote is gone, gone gone gone, I do NOT care what bullshit, No, if they Do A Bad Job, I will Not Vote Next Election there will Be No Point in Delaying The Inevitable.

There's no point, if You're Never Going To Do YOUR JOB of Demanding Better. That's why people felt compelled to move third party, You. That's why people in general don't vote. You. You Flood Apathy for any fucking change doing this team sport childish bullshit.

I can vote alongside people I agree with morally, for a candidate I don't agree with morally. Hell I can vote with someone I disagree with morally, for a candidate I disagree with morally, but dear god, I cannot vote alongside people Who Don't Criticize! Demand better! Fucking...Not defending politician's actions just because it makes them look bad, and thus, themselves, look bad.

YOU CANNOT TELL ME, YOU CAN'T CALL IT A GENOCIDE, BECAUSE IT MAKES YOU FEEL BAD VOTING FOR THE GUY FUNDING IT!???!?! ARE YOU FUCKING INSANE!?!?!?!?

None. Not one reason. No reason to defend a genocide. No reason to pretend it isn't. There never has been, never fuckin' will be! What!?!? It's 2024. This is real life.

The problem with american politics is the people unwilling to have their own opinions out of fear of having the wrong one. God knows you can never recover from a bad political opinion good lord. Grow up. Every Human Right's Organization has Called IT A GENOCIDE, THEY KEEP FUCKING BREAKING THE GENEVA CONVENTION! LIKE VIDEO GAMES ARE HELD TO A HIGHER STANDARD WITH THE RED CROSS THAN ISRAEL IS WITH THE RED CROSS

Demand better than funding a genocidal country that trains our cops to murder our kids in cribs with flashbangs and false warrants.

Fucking republican democrats. A dumb fucking combination of words, but one that fits so amply for pro-genociders. What else!? You want the security of competent economics without anyone but you truly benefiting. Boomer shit.

Again. Again if ya'll want the anti-genocider vote, you gotta eradicate the ideology by not teaching the holocaust, that is in fact, what you need, for your bullshit to work. Otherwise? Just...be anti-genocide. Just be that! It's so much easier! Or at least be Fucking Honest???

You ain't getting shit from anti-genociders, they will never, jump ship, you on the other hand, can Only ever Jump Ship or Dig In Heels on that sinking ship! You're on the blatantly wrong side! THEY SET UP FUCKING FOOD CAN IEDS!?!? SHOT A KID 360 TIMES!?!? THEY HAVE A INSTAGRAM, WHERE THEY POST SNUFF, AND ROBBERIES OF THESE PEOPLE!?!? SOME OF THEM HAVE FENCES, ABOVE THEIR ENTIRE FUCKING NEIGHBORHOOD, BECAUSE THE FUCKING PEOPLE (Guess who) ABOVE THEM THROW TRASH AT THEM! How the fuck are you this????

What fuckin Larp competition are you trying to win? YA WIN! YA BEAT REPUBLICAN'S LARPS! IT SEEMED IMPOSSIBLE TO BEAT JFK COMING BACK TO LIFE TO REINSTATE TRUMP AS PRESIDENT, BUT BY GOLLY, YA FUCKIN' DID IT! YA WIN! YA LARPED SO HARD! GOOD JOB! YOU ARE A GOOD HUMAN BEING!

HOORAY!!!!!!! SAFE-ish ECONOMICS!!!!

CAN YOU STOP NOW??????

Penny stardewvalley makes me so sad because she's SO sensitive to, like, basically everything you tell her (telling her that you can't stand children while two children are nearby is a pretty lousy move but -1500 friendship?? being a jerk to other characters' faces typically loses you about 50 points, and if you choose the option labeled "creepy" and ask Leah for a kiss in her 2 heart event she physically hits you and kicks you out of her house but that's only -100 friendship…) and so if you want to befriend her it's a whole lot of lying and tiptoeing around her feelings (2 hearts: George was right but saying that makes her feel bad. 6 hearts: her food sucks but even if you try to be polite about it she feels like a failure; only a bald-faced lie pleases her. 8 hearts: saying you don't want to be tied down with a family loses you a little bit of friendship and she's only happy if you say you want kids) and I can't help but think she's a product of her environment. She lives in a trailer with only her mother, who gets drunk every night and has something of a temper. Penny's like a skittish rescue animal who won’t even come out from hiding under something unless you leave her lots of treats

It just makes me emotional that Dr Nefario met Gru when Gru was a little kid and now, decades later, he's spending time with Gru's son. This is just adorable

[yardsards]

some people on here make Hating All Social Rules such an obnoxiously large part of their personality that you could say "it is polite to avoid farting in a crowded elevator if you can help it" and they'd call you an oppressive puritan who hates the incontinent

[foundfamilywhump]

see like the thing with 'carewhumpers' as a concept to me is it just like... i know this is prrrrobably not really how it's meant but something skeeves me out about the idea that kindness or caretaking mixed in with hurting someone can somehow meaningfully complicate or dilute the harm done to the point of making that character no longer a 'whumper' whereas someone doing the same 'bad' things but not ever being gentle or caring for them would just be a straight-out whumper. when like... that's how 90% of irl abuse dynamics work? so i just... don't really get the point, i guess. like to me it implies something about the 'care' provided somehow mitigating or combating the harm done that. i just do not personally appreciate or enjoy.

he will never ever ever admit it out loud but sometimes neil feels a sort-of sadness/regret/nostalgia about who he could've been if he'd grown up in the ravens/in his father's business. when he disregards his abuse, and the way his parents treated him, he dreams about it a lot. he blames his mother sometimes because yes, sure, he would be in a dangerous business, but it was secure insofar as his father was trusted and reputable. mary caused so much added fear and paranoia and danger for neil by running. it was his father's business, one he was very good at. it was the purpose laid out for nathaniel from birth.

if neil had always been his fathers apprentice, if he’d been perfect court from the start, how much better of a player would he be, having been a raven? what kind of a person would he be? would he have turned into someone like riko, or someone like kevin? could he have stopped riko from breaking kevins hand? could he have saved jean from his abuse, or would he have been apart of it? that's the part that's difficult - if he'd grown up in his father's world, he would've grown up into his father. and neil does not like that side of himself. he does not like that he has the capacity for evil. he's scared of what he is capable of, sometimes, remembering what he inherited from his dad. so would he like to say he would've been different, that he wouldn't've participated in rikos bullshit? yes. can he? no. because he does not know what kind of a person he would've become if he'd grown up under his fathers wing. he's glad that didn't happen, of course, but he does still feel something everytime he thinks about how things would've worked out if he'd followed the path his father intended to put him on.

"erm actually this teenager is just as bad as the adult who is grooming them because they sometimes act according to the horrible things they've been taught and have been offered no alternate perspective on" <- how some of you sound when talking about rgu

Snopes.com was THE fact-checking / lie-debunking website in the 2000s, covering everything from lighthearted fare like "is this a picture of Bigfoot?" to rumors about Iraq War, which at the time often spread via chain emails or Dick Cheney.

Well, Snopes still exists and I encourage you to check it out. They will investigate until they find the primary source of a photo, a quote, an article. This is especially important in a world where AI is increasingly able to fool the human eye and human ear.

In case you were wondering, the status of the photos / articles I clipped for this post are:

Israel making a deal with BetterHelp - Real, and the company was founded by an IDF soldier who proudly brags about this fact in his online profile. Also they have previously been caught selling private medical information.

IDF soldier threatening a woman with children - Real picture but not from current conflict

Are Palestinians forbidden from collecting rainwater? Yes, and the situation is even more dire than the headline makes it sound. Really recommend this article for a deeper understanding of the discrimination the Palestinians suffered even prior to the current conflict.

Did Israel use white phosphorus on Gaza? The evidence strongly points to yes. This article is VERY good, very well-researched.

Keep scrolling if you blame Spider

Spider, who is literally still a child by human standards.

Spider, who never gave away Jake's or the Omatikaya's location.

Spider, who cares about the Sullys' safety over his own.

Spider, who didn't want any blood on his hands or a guilty conscience if he left someone to die.

Spider, who just didn't want anyone else to get hurt.

Spider, who never betrayed the Na'vi (unlike Jake but hey, who's counting that, right?)

Spider, who had to fend for himself to survive the toughest events because he didn't have an adult who would tear the world apart for him like the Sully children do.

Spider, who loves Pandora and Eywa.

Spider, who just wanted to be one of Her children because he never knew what it was like for a mother to love him.

Spider, who probably understands Eywa's whole "balance of life" meaning more than others.

Spider, who already lost Neteyam but he couldn't afford to lose anyone else in his life, no matter how terrible they are as a person.

Spider, who helped Jake save Kiri and Tuk when everyone else was still too shocked to move.

Spider, who chose mercy over violence/death.

Spider, who did what he could to survive (I'd like to see how YOU would react under such pressure. It all seems obvious and easy watching from the other side of the screen, right?)

Spider, who was likely being misled, brainwashed, and gaslit by the Recoms.

Spider, who is clearly a victim but hey, let's blame him for simply being a decent human being, right?

Spider, who likely thought he owed Quaritch after he saved him from being tortured.

Spider, who likely thought he owed Quaritch for giving him life.

Spider, who just wanted a father who was proud of him.

Spider, who has been clearly neglected by the heroes (Jake and Neytiri) but doesn't openly or verbally blame them.

Spider, who doesn't purposely threaten children's lives like Quaritch and Neytiri do.

Spider, who just wanted to be one of the People.

Spider, who wouldn't have made those difficult choices had he been properly loved and raised.

Spider, who is as easy to blame as Lo'ak for endangering the people they love (but again, no one's counting, right?)

Spider, who is clearly not a villain, just misunderstood.

Spider, who wasn't raised by the village but didn't burn it down to feel its warmth because he's not petty, not vindictive, not evil, and not a killer.

Spider, who is. A. Child.

Something something Percy wishing he loved Nico in the same way because he can't stand the idea of hurting him, even though Nico has never needed Percy to love him in the same way or even to love him at all.

The way people write John in fic bothers me so much sometimes. Not to judge other people’s writing specifically, just the general fanon characterization of John Winchester. Yes he’s bad a father. Horrible. So much to unpack there. Yet I find it so disappointing when I go to read a fic and he’s like. Cartoonishly villainous. Excluding the fans that actually like John (which is even more crazy), it feels like everyone treats him as like this big bad one dimensional monster which imo is a disservice to the complex relationship Sam and Dean have with them. It’s also a symptom of a broader pattern in media, or even real world events. It’s so much easier to flatly paint anyone bad as inhuman, one dimensional, and just plain evil. Monstrous. But the reality is, every horrible person is still a person. Humans are capable of the evil we do, not monsters.

So when it comes to John, like yes, he is deeply deeply flawed. He really hurt his kids. But often when people write him, it feels like he makes all of his terrible decisions for the sake of being mean and terrible and abusive, which undermines the dynamic because the reality is people can be abusive or neglectful or toxic without being a complete monster 100% of time. It would almost be easier for Sam and Dean if John had actually been like that. But he was their father, who did what he thought was best, and loved them even if he didn’t show it. They have fond memories with him. He’s their father. Which is what makes it so hard for them to actually unpack the trauma they have, because it is so so difficult to realize a person you love is actually actively hurting you. Harder than realizing a villain in your life is just being a villain.

if angel was raised on pandora it means that she and jack lived as residential settlers during dahls occupation. grogmouth likely worked for the flynts who, being a high status family at the time, in turn worked for dahl. baron flynt was the warden of thor, a dahl mining rig that doubled as a prison. the companys sole interest in pandora to begin with was to extract eridium and find alien relics, so a siren would be a priceless bargaining chip for their efforts. all of this to say its very possible that the flynts were the ones who sent out the order for angel to be kidnapped.
